i'm the freaking luckiest girl on this planet!
i went to tokyo globe at 5.30pm sharp to queue (although i was told to go at 6pm, show starts at 7pm). and there are like about 100 girls in front of me already
by 6pm, the queue was 'snaking around' like at the airport customs coz the outside area is very small, and in 30min, there were like 500 girls i think...
ok, my learning experience: it doesn't matter how much earlier you start to queue before 6pm, coz it's really a lottery!
coz at about 6+ pm, we were all given a numbered token. and the girls who has a number bigger than 70 go home...

i was 44.
Many girls look like they wanna cry... poor things... some actually hung around and stare at our queue... how sad...
and they make us queue again according to our number this time.
after another like 10min, it was my turn when the guy-in-charge suddenly stopped me from proceeding to the payment counter! "sold out!"
SHIIIIIIIT!!!! i thought the sky just fell on me coz i freaking queued like more than an hour for this, and it's raining! they should give me a free ticket you know!! damn... and i was frustrated coz i didn't understand his japanese, but thank god a lady came out and told me to wait, that there may be last min ticket cancellations...
at this point, many girls gave up, and there were only like a handful of us loitering around... then suddenly! i was called to the payment booth!! yay!!!!
AM I LUCKY OR WHAT?!!
to be honest, the 'winning' of the lottery was excitement great enough for me! my heart was just rocketing when i went into the theatre!
it was quite a small inside, and all of us who won the lottery have to get the most expansive tickets anyway (8500yen), so our seats were on the first floor on the S block.
Mine wasn't that near the stage, but since it's a small place, i can see... Ohno very clearly... even his swollen red eyes at the end!
but guess what? i got lucky again... i think...

mine is the aisle seat near the middle lane - so i get a cental good view of everything...
and that's not all... just about 5min before the show starts, there was suddenly a commotion, everyone was turning around to see... me!!

well, that's what i thought, then i realised that 2 guys went to sit on the other aisle seats adjacent to me. well, i didn't recognize those guys... sure wish they were jun & sho though... sucks!
but anyway, i asked the girl next to me, and she says they are johnny's jr @#$%^...? i donno which band coz i didn't understand what she said... and those guys didn't look that 'young' to be 'jr'... maybe it's 2 of those other JE band guys that i didn't recognize...
ok, one of them was cute... i was just blatantly staring rudely at them and digging my absent memory to see if i've seen them anywhere before... and i think i must look quite scarry coz they start to pull their caps/hats low over their faces!!! and i was just next to them like 70cm away!!! hahahahahahah
another wonderful thing about the show was that ohno and another actor jumped off the stage and walked down the aisle as part of their act!! well, too bad, not my aisle, but the next aisle, still, he was so damn close up!!! he looks really really good!!!
and i must say the show was over over over my expectations! the sound effects were wonderful! only lacking is the backdrop/set is pretty boring. for so many acts in a 2.5hr show, there is only 1 set!!! they cheated with lighting and no furniture!
anyway it was terribly entertaining! even when i hardly understood what they said, the storyline is pretty basic and simple.
and i was sooooo pleased i stood up throughout the 4 curtain calls! there was finally a full standing ovation at the 4th curtain call!! yay!!
and ochan was so touched (i hope), that he came back to the stage alone after the last curtain call and spoke for like 10mins to us!!!
but shit, i didn't understand most of what he said, except that he was his usual funny self and a little loss for words, and whatever he fumbled, everyone was laughing and screaming his name! (of course i did too la!)
he also said that it's someone's birthday?? or something? coz he suddenly yelled "sei.. no...!" and everyone yelled back "omedetou XXXX!!" i didn't get what everyone was yelling about though...

but the atmosphere was tremendously great! like in a bloody concert!!! geez...
and funnily, they were playing all the arashi songs before the butai started! and it went full volume on the ARASHI song that everyone laughed! coz it's like a concert instead...

then we realized that it sort of led into the begining of the butai, coz the lights went out dramatically...
and ya, there was this little funny thing that they put in the play. the girl lead suddenly said something like 'ninomiya sho jun...' and everyone starts giggling... and i thought there's something wrong with my ear!!
then the other actor 'read' from his prop book and says something like aiba-chan, and everyone was laughing! i think they were making fun of the other arashi guys' names into the play!
but was funny and memorable!
awwwwww!!! what a night!!!
